AM: 15 x 2:00on/1:00 off - 12 miles
I again felt pretty sharp today. The fartlek went well, and I was definitely strong on the hills. I ran past some rowdy Duke and UNC fans as well when I hit campus during a Forest Hills-WaDuke loop.

AM: 13 miles moderate
With the penultimate term of grad school in the books, I took off around noon for Umstead Park and got in a therapeutic run on my own. I averaged around 6:20 pace for 12 miles, which isn't slow in Umstead, but today was one of those runs where your legs feel light and running just seems effortless. I tacked on a mile on some of the single track near the parking lot to make it 13 for the day.

AM: 14 miles easy

After a morning run with Dan on the ATT, I'd only planned to run once, but it was so nice when I got home that I snuck out for a half-hour shakeout run.

AM: 5 x 1000m with 200m jog recovery - 10 miles
This was a bit of an aborted workout. My legs and lungs felt fine, but Reed and I were way off the target pace (averaged 3:10 for the first three, and then finally made it down to 3:07 and 3:04 for the next two). We'd planned 10 reps, but too little sleep during finals week and Sunday's workout finally caught up with me, and we did end on target.
I'm absolutely fine with this as long as I can hit a good effort later this week once I've had more time to sleep and recover. Finals are over tomorrow, and then I'll get more than two weeks off for some big miles over spring break.

PM: 5 miles easy
I ran through campus in the morning with Reed, adding a full WaDuke loop and feeling really good, and ran a shake-out with Valerie on the ATT in the evening.

Campus and fitness loop with Reed. One recovery run was enough today after yesterday's effort.
